Installing the camera at a high spot
The camera can be mounted on a ceiling or on a shelf or
stand located at a high spot using the supplied ceiling
bracket.
The surface on which the camera will be mounted
should be level. If you have to mount the camera on a
tilted surface, make sure that the angle is less than 15
degrees to ensure the camera can pan/tilt properly.
Before installing the camera
Decide which way the camera will shoot, and drill holes
for the ceiling bracket (B) and the connecting cable in
the ceiling or the shelf. For the dimensions of the ceiling
bracket (B), refer to page 57.
• Connection cables cannot be routed through the
ceiling bracket (A). A hole to route wires through is
needed in the ceiling or the shelf at the back of the
camera.
• Do not mount anything other than the camera onto the
ceiling bracket.
• The ceiling bracket cannot be mounted on a junction
box.
Installing the camera on the ceiling
(example)
1 Turn on IMG FLIP in the SYSTEM menu.
2 Loosen the four screws at the bottom of the camera
to remove the four feet.
Caution
• When you want the camera to be mounted at a high
spot, such as on a ceiling, have a professional
contractor do the job.
• When you mount the camera at a high spot, make
sure the attachment materials to which the camera
will be mounted and the fittings (except for
accessories) are capable of supporting a weight of
60 kg or greater and that the installation is done
properly. If the installation is not strong enough, the
camera may fall, resulting in a serious injury.
• As a fall prevention measure, be sure to attach the
supplied wire rope to the camera securely.
• When you mount the camera at a high spot, inspect
the installation once a year for any loosened parts.
Depending on the operation conditions, inspect
more frequently.
